Memotone - Burnt Forest

Look over Larry McCarthy's lifespan as a producer called Bruce so far and you'll discover it has been characterised by a clutch of questions. Back in the summer of 2014, the dominating line of enquiry was "who is Bruce?" after a series of deadly productions popped up in the setlists of Pev, Ben UFO, Kowton and associates attributed to this most unnassuming of names. When it was subsequently revealed Bruce was but a “music producer and DJ from Bath, Somerset" the questions halted momentarily to marvel at the pedigree of his Dnuos Ytivil and Hessle Audio releases.

The next question surrounding Bruce was "when is "Steals" being released?", in reference to his track of the same name whose structural elasticity had been roadtested extensively before finally appearing as the lead track on his 2016 return to Hessle Audio. This year has been a fine one for the perma-beaming producer in general with that Hessle 12" augmented by an emotionally-loaded Idle Hands debut, The Trouble With Wilderness, that further demonstrated his range as a producer. The finest break-up single of 2016? Not content with these two records, Bruce has another 12" pencilled in on the ever-blossoming Timedance label operated by contemporary (and housemate) Batu which is due at the end of the month.

We have been pestering young Larry for a podcast since being blown away by those first two Bruce records back in 2014 and it feels quite right for him to provide this closing entry into our podcast series. The submitted selection nudges past the hour mark and spans unreleased material from Batu, Simo Cell and Bruce himself alongside sludgy tracks from Stott, Cloudface, 33.10.3402 and more. McCarthy was kind enough to answer some questions regarding his music, revisiting his painting, living in the "Utopian Timedance Commune" and whether he has a nickname for the Hessle Audio boys - click here for those: http://bit.ly/2cZF9gF
